I have so much to share with you, but I just can't find the time. There's the trip to Brighton, Stephen Fry Live, my brother crying on national tv (he will just love me for showing you all this), The Celibacy Debate, and the coverage on the first day of the Pope's visit. It's also not a great time for me to be falling ill ... I need to be well for Saturday! And for university of course....

If only updating this thing was as easy as twitter. By the way, follow me if you feel like hearing some banter about the papal visit. I'll promise to be serious in parts.

'A priest's Sunday service turned into a [M]ass brawl when he attacked one of his congregation. fr Victor Jimeno, of Valencia, slapped a man who spat out a communion wafer [*cough* the Body of Christ], sparking a fight. 'I know we are supposed to turn the other cheek but Fr Victor felt what this man needed most was vengeance, not forgiveness,' said one witness.'

With only two weeks left in London it's going to be a busy time with all these upcoming events. Seeing Stephen Fry on Monday, Celibacy Debate on Tuesday and then hyperactivity all up till Saturday when I make my debut (wait that's a lie ... although The Big Questions on BBC doesn't count) on the big screen ... in your living room.

And with the tube strike in London, I find this song highly appropriate. Any excuse to listen to the Amateur Transplants

About Me

I started blogging based on someone's suggestion: "British-Filipino-Catholic-in-Calvinist-Country-Seeking-Enlightenment." As gripping as that title sounded, I found myself straying away from any seriousness, instead, detailing the banality of a theology student living on the east coast of Scotland. Now that I have migrated back down south, I cannot guarantee the banal nature, the intellectual content, nor the frequency of posts. I now work at The Guardian and you can find out more on rachelobordo.com

I am Catholic, but my views do not reflect those of the Catholic Church - unless of course references are properly noted as so. The same goes for the University of St Andrews and anyone I currently work for.

A lot of what is written on this blog should be taken with a pinch of salt. You see, I suffer from a terrible disorder called dry humour. It's quite common amongst Britons and is a deceptive ailment whereby the sufferer is perceived as being serious, when in fact the total opposite is true. Awful thing.
